Highly selective humanized DDR1 mAb reverses immune exclusion by disrupting collagen fiber alignment in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Discoidin domain-containing receptor 1 (DDR1) plays an important role in cancer progression. However, the DDR1 function in tumors is still elusive. We recently reported that DDR1 promoted collagen fiber alignment and formation of a physical barrier, which causes immune exclusion from tumors. We also demonstrated that our DDR1 ECD-targeting mAbs can disrupt collagen fiber alignment and increase T Cell infiltration in tumors. In this study, we humanized a DDR1 ECD-targeting mAb and showed significant antitumor efficacy in an immunocompetent mouse model. We determined the binding epitope using gene mutagenesis, hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), and X-ray crystallography. Mechanistically, we showed that the humanized mAb inhibited DDR1 phosphorylation and, more importantly, blocked DDR1 shedding and disrupted a physical barrier formed by collagen fiber alignment in tumors. This study not only paves a pathway for development of PRTH-101 as a cancer therapeutic, but also broaden our understanding of the roles of DDR1 in modulation of collagen alignments in tumor extracellular matrix and tumor immune microenvironment.

Project description:Collagen deposition is a key process during idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); however, little is known about the dynamics of collagen formation during disease development. Tissue samples of early stages of human disease are not readily available and it is difficult to identify changes in collagen content, since standard collagen analysis does not distinguish between 'old' and 'new' collagen. Therefore, the current study aimed to (i) investigate the dynamics of new collagen formation in mice using bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in which newly synthesized collagen was labelled with deuterated water and (ii) use this information to identify genes and processes correlated to new collagen formation from gene expression analysis. Lung fibrosis was induced in female C57BL/6 mice by bleomycin instillation and sacrificed. Animals were sacrificed at 1 to 5 weeks after fibrosis induction. Collagen synthesized during the week before sacrifice was labelled with deuterium by providing mice with deuterated drinking water. After sacrifice, lung tissue was collected for microarray analysis, determination of new collagen formation, and histology. Deuterated water labelling showed a strong increase in new collagen formation already during the first week after fibrosis induction and a complete return to baseline at five weeks. Correlation of new collagen formation data with gene expression data revealed fibrosis specific processes, of which proliferation was an unexpected one. This was confirmed by measuring cell proliferation and collagen synthesis simultaneously using deuterated water incorporation. Furthermore, new collagen formation strongly correlated with gene expression of e.g. elastin, tenascin C, MMP-14, lysyl oxidase, and type V collagen. These data demonstrate, using a novel combination of technologies, that proliferation and extracellular matrix production are correlated to the core process of fibrosis, i.e. the formation of new collagen. In addition, it identified genes directly correlated to fibrosis, thus providing more insight into the aetiology of IPF. Total RNA was obtained from mouse lungs at timepoint 0 as a control (n = 7) or timepoints 1 (n = 7), 2 (n = 6), 3 (n = 6), 4 (n = 6) or 5 (n = 6) weeks after bleomycin-instillation to induce lung fibrosis.

Project description:Noroviruses are non-enveloped (+) single stranded RNA viruses of the Caliciviridae family that cause an estimated 20 % of gastroenteritis cases worldwide . The virus possesses an icosahedral capsid, build by the two structural proteins VP1 and VP2. Noroviruses of genogroup II, especially GII.4, dominated in the majorities of outbreaks in the last two decades. In the last years, a novel GII.17 strain has also emerged in Asia. The major capsid protein VP1 builds dimers that are divided into the inner shell (S) domain and the outward-facing protruding (P) domain. The P domain is further divided into P1 and P2 subdomains, of which P2 is essential for host immune response and binds to histo blood-group antigens (HBGAs) for cell attachment in a strain-dependent manner, but the exact mechanism of cell attachment and entry remains unclear. Recently, a spontaneous deamidation of N373 with subsequent formation of an iso-aspartate (iD) was identified in GII.4 Saga P dimers that strongly attenuates glycan binding. This deamidation appears to be site specific and occurs in GII.4 MI001 P dimers as well, whereas it is absent in GII.10 Vietnam 026 and GII.17 Kawasaki 308 P dimers, which carry an Asp at the equivalent position. Given their high structural similarity with at the same time strain-dependent glycan binding behavior, we wanted to study if glycan binding induces different dynamic changes in P dimers of different strains using Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS). Furthermore, we wanted to examine the structural effects of fucose binding to a mixture of wildtype and deamidated GII.4 MI001 and GII.4 Saga P dimers, to get more insights about the dynamic changes induced by N373 deamidation. Our results suggest identical glycan binding behavior of the almost identical GII.4 Saga and GII.4 MI001 strains, but reveal different glycan induced dynamics in GII.17 Kawasaki 308 and GII.10 Vietnam 026. Furthermore, all strains apart from GII.4 Saga form a second P domain species that is highly protected from HDX . In mixtures of wildtype and N373 deamidated GII.4 P dimers, fucose binding leads to different structural dynamics than in pure wildtype, indicating that the deamidated species could have a biological function in vivo.
